Restrictions have been imposed on four ICC officials over illegitimate actions targeting the US and its close ally Israel

The United States has announced sanctions on four International Criminal Court (ICC) judges over what it described as "illegitimate and baseless actions" against the US and Israel.

The ICC's jurisdiction is currently recognized by 123 countries. Among the non-signatories are the US, Russia, China, and Israel. The court does not have its own police force and relies on member states to detain and transfer suspects. In February, the US administration sanctioned the ICC and its top prosecutor, Karim Khan, for issuing arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.

In a statement on Thursday, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said that the new sanctions targeted judges Solomy Balungi Bossa of Uganda, Luz del Carmen Ibanez Carranza of Peru, Reine Adelaide Sophie Alapini Gansou of Benin and Beti Hohler of Slovenia over their "illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America or our close ally, Israel."
